Crops,

According to the the Illinois weather
service tine condition of crops is reported
as up to or above an average in all the
northern counties except Putnam and
Marshall, in which there will not be over
three-fourths of an average yield per
acre In the central division the pros
poets are encouraging for nearly an aver
age yield per acre in the counties of Pike,
Brown, Cass. Sangamon and Christian.
In Campaign, Douglas and Schuyler,
where will be from one>half to three>
fourths of an average yield per acre.
The most discouragiBg reports announc-
ing the condition of corn come from the
southern division. In Rand, Hamilton,
Edwards, Wabash, Pulaski and Pope
counties the condition of corn gives en-
couragement for nearly an average yield
per acre. In the remaining southern
counties about half an average yield is
predicted.
The counties in which the condition of
potatoes is reported up TO an average are
the exceptions. In the northeastern por-
ton of the state from one-fourth to three
fourths of an average yield per acre is
predicted In the central counties, eX-
cepting the counties of Brown, Pike and
Green, in which from three-fOurths to an
average yield may he expected. the yield
per acre of potatoes will be from 10 to
50 per cent of an average yield. In only
three of the southern counties, Pope, Ed
wards and Hamilton, is the condition of
this crop up to an average. Prospects are
favorable for nearly an average yield per
acre in the counties of Bond and Mont
gomery In the remaining counties there
will be from 40 to So per cent of an av
erage yield per acre.
There will be nearly an average crop
of apples in the counties of Rock Island,
Bond, Hamilton, Edwards, and Pulaski.
The prospects are very discouraging for
even one fourth of an average crop in
the counties on the Illinois river. In the
counties in the southeastern portion OF
the state except those above named, there
will be almost an entire failure of the
apple crop.
There is general complaint of the poor
condition of pastures, which, owing 10
the protracted dry weather are not re-
turning half an average yield in the ma
iority of the counties in the state.

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.


Meeting Of the Business Mems Ar
ISOLATION TWim be Called to Take
Action What Mr.. Ferguson Thinks.
The attention of President w. B. Fer
guson of the Rock Island Business Mems
association, was called to the suggestion
in the ARGUS that an effort be made to
bring Mr.. Cleveland to Rock Island dur
ing his proposed western trip.
THE idea is good one," said MIR.
Ferguson, "snd it will not be because of
lack of effort on my part if the president
does not include Rock Island in his west
ern trip. 1t seems to me that if an invi-
tstion is extended to him, he cannot fail
to accept it. If he is coming west to see
the country. be should BY all means make
stop at Rock Island. don't believe, "
continued Mr.. Ferguson, that there will
be any trouble about getting him here,
and unless change my mind very much,
| will call a meeting of the Business
Mems association and put the matter be-
fore the, society"
II is apparent to the ARGUS that PRESS
dent Cleveland would be pleased to visit
Rock Island arsenal during his trip. and
further than this, here is to be the mouth
of that great proposed water route
which is to connect the lakes and the
Mississippi. These are points of national
interest to the country and of personal in
terest to its chief executive. There will
be no public improvement to which the
presidents attention will be more often
called in the future than to the Hennepin
canal. By taking the c., R l. & P. road
from here to Chicago, he would have op-
pOrtunity to view the entire route almost
of the proposed canal. Aside then from
the arsenal, which it would be of per-
sonal as well as public interest to Presi
dent Cleveland, there is the terminus and
route of the Hennepin canal, which, if he
is enabled to inspect, he will recommend
without hesitsncy in his forthcoming
message to congress. The president las
been friendly to Hennepin from the first,
but recommendation on his part would
carry more weight than anything else.
In letter from Washington to his
paper a year ago, Mr.. B. F. Tillinghsst,
managing editor of the Davenport Demo-
crdt, quoted the president as having in>
formed him personally that he had al
ways entertained a desire to visit the
cities of Davenport and Rock Island and
Rock Island arsenal. It would seem
therefore that it would only be necessary
10 extend to the president an invitation.
10 have him visit u.s. The ARGUS accord
ingly, again urges united effort on the
part of the three cities. The Rock
Island business mems association will no
doubt appoint a committee to act in
conjunction with the associations of
Davenport and Moline, and if these COM
mittees. acting Jointly, could name
committee from each city to go to
Washington and extend the invitation to
President Cleveland, he might accept
